antster1983 Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Hi all Just re-entered my profile here on this very site. One thing that bugs me though is all the bright colours! I'm gonna need glasses or I'm gonna go ! Anyways, has anyone seen all those videos of Battalion Wars for GameCube on IGN? What a deep game it looks! And better than the one we saw at E3 2004 (as Advance Wars: Under Fire). Kuju have certainly done a good job - that's one to the British developers! )
david.dakota Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 This is an essential purchase for me. I love the Advance Wars titles on GBA and DS - and a real time spin off should be a hoot. IGN have raised a couple of issues which have bought the game mark down. With a little more thought, this could have been marked 9+. As it stands, i think IGN's score is a more than respectable 8.8.
antster1983 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 Just seen the score on IGN - 8.8 seems respectable enough. Now it's higher than Geist on the want list

That is a FANTASTIC score!! I was expecting it to get around '7' or something like that; It must be a great game!! The last video i saw looked really good, with very stylish cutscenes, and great gameplay; might have to think about getting this sometime!
gorrit Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I'm getting it, I've imported it... Hopefully I don't have to wait too long...
RATM_4_EVA Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Must............Get..........game...........
darksnowman Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Yeah its on my list to get... Ill get the European one though, we need to show Nintendo that there are people in Europe buying their stuff up!
Beanie Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I think I'll wait until I've seen some more reviews before buying this one, although it does sound pretty good. Maybe we'll see some more Nintendo-published games from UK developers in the future!
Konfucius Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I'm looking forward to this game for a very long time now; still I'll get the European version - can't wait, but have to
jakeee Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I have just watched about 20 videos of this game and I actually like it. I'm still not sure if I buy it or not but maybe if I could test it somewhere...
c0Zm1c Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 When will it be out in Europe? 9th December, according to the list of release dates here.
daftada Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I think i'll get it from the UK, i've got so many other games to play right now antd i'll make a good pressie for Xmas. It's certainly looking better than the first time I played it at Kuju's Focus Group.
Librarian Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Getting this the moment it lands here in europe. Imagine this on the REV. Online shooting the pants of each other
Guest Ray Falling Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 9th December, according to the list of release dates here. n_n Thanks! Ow that'll take a while though
gorrit Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Getting this the moment it lands here in europe. Imagine this on the REV. Online shooting the pants of each other Yeah, they should definitly make a Rev sequel.
antster1983 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 I'm getting Delta Force: Black Hawk Down for Xbox (should arrive tomorrow) and Nintendogs: Labrador and Friends (Euro launch 7th October), and chances are I'll get a few games by the time Battalion Wars is released on 9th December.
dazzybee Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 So did anyone get it!? I'd love to hear opinions on it, surprised theres not lots of threads on it declaring it the best game of the year!! And when I say surprised I meant disppointed!
gorrit Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 I've got it, and it's plenty o' fun! It has some downsides (like, only Campaign mode, and not so many extras), but the gameplay is very very fun, albeit it's getting quite hard now, but it's still a blast. You feel very satisfied when you've come up with a good strategy and it really works, you see your enemies turn to smithereens
dazzybee Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Great stuff, ive been excited about this game for so long, was gonna import but my JPN cube broke its switch so I cant turn it american December 9th will come soon. Not THAT bothered about no mulitplayer, I expect it so it wont disppoint. Just want a great, fun action strategy game - it looks amazing!!
Kurtle Squad Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I want to get it loads. Especially after seeing IGN's score!!
That Guy Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 Hi guys. I'm not too sure about this. I've been out of the picture GameCube wise for a while, and so only really heard about it recently. Looks good and is a strategy game which appeals to me. I loved Pikmin 2, and have been after a new strategy game for a while to play alongside Pikmin. Those who have played it, what were some of the problems you think it might have?
